Been plowing with the Kubota for a trail through woods. Slow going but its packing nicely. I'm hoping I can haul a 55 gal drum in the bucket. A lot of trial and error I reckon.

I'm up on mountain rd. Between Glendale and ridge. I'm just getting into this addictive hobby so I'd like to come watch a bigger operation. Your other posts said you did 125 gals last year?

Swampmapleman stop by anytime I'm at 284 Glendale rd, hope to be boiling again soon after the deep freeze.

I put a few in during the last thaw. I have two trees that are doing fantastic every time it warm up enough. One is a larger on by a stone wall next to the road. I only installed one tap in it incase I have to change it later on in the season. That one tree alone gives me between three and five gallons a day when it runs. Now its all about the wait.

Maple mass are those yur white buckets on Monson rd? I see pmc's buckets closer to the intersection. How many gals does he do a year?

[Maple mass]

Swampmapleman, the buckets on monson rd are mine, Pmc does about 30ish on a 2x4.

Where did you get the white buckets from? What about the wind kicking them around? Are u using any galvanized buckets anymore? How many do you still have for sale?

Am I correct in assuming that you might have some extra buckets for sale. I lost some of my old galv's last year. They where handed down to me so not sure of their age. But am now in need of new cheap buckets.If so how many gallons do they hold and how much would you want for them. Im a small producer from Warren

Thanks guys for the tour of your places yesterday. This morning my son and I put out all 13 of our buckets (no laughing). Tonight we collected 10 gallons. This is addicting already. I am looking for more buckets and taps and of course trees. Thanks again for all of your help. Jim
